NAKASONGOLA TEACHERS TO START AN SDA TEACHERS’ ASSOCIATION

The Adventist teachers in Nakasongola Church District have resolved to start an SDA Teachers Association in which they hope to improve the infrastructural and academic standards of church schools in the area.

In a meeting held at Wabinyonyi SDA Primary School in Nakasongola on Thursday 19th April 2018 , over 40 teachers resolved to unite into an association which will help have a united front to improve the performance which still lacks in Nakasongola Schools.The Government District Education Officer, Mr. Kajura (who is a Church Elder) noted that “It’s sad that our schools, which Government has supplied with Buildings, paid teachers’ salaries and even gave Capitation grants and books still lag behind!!” What more could government have done that we didn’t do?? He wondered.The Guest of Honor, the Education Director of Central Uganda Conference Pr. Kaggwa Rogers reminded the teachers that they are Missionaries in those schools. “If you teach a child all the alphabet and Numeracy and the Sciences, but fail to show the Child Jesus Christ, you will put out educated thieving, immoral and corrupt people.” He observed that Adventist Schools are the Gateway to Heaven for chidren worldwide and we should do all in our power to interest parents to bring children to this Gate of Heaven.Pr. Kaggwa encouraged unity and said when you have an association, you can get a loan from government where all teachers can borrow to buy plots to build houses for home or rent and pay slowly from their salaries.Nakasongla District has over 6 church Schools and over 18 church related schools.
